Kanaya - Lily ft. beetlebug (original song)

i wrote this song in this very bedroom where i'm sat on about two years ago, and now i finally have the chance to sing it with my best friends. the meaning of this song definitely has changed a lot over time, but either way, it means a lot to me :D

[@platosprophet]

A girl in her teenage years, grieving over her life. Nothing is going the way she wants it to. Her lover left her and she’s not in the best place mentally. She thinks of natural beauty as if it were mocking her, jealous of how lilies are so radiantly perfect without trying. She needs to keep looking for a reason to live, things will get better with time.
*Time passes*
She’s in adulthood. She hasn’t found a reason to keep going, but she knows she can keep living on. She’s grown to understand the way life is. Acceptance. Now she sees natural beauty as a gift from life. A gratitude to her for not giving up on life. Oh, how the scarlet red spider lily blows in the wind. Swayed by the wind, like how life swayed her around, bashing her against obstacles and misery. The lily is intact, however. It keeps living. She keeps living.
*Time passes*
Her last moments, she’s found a reason to live. It’s too late though. Somehow, that’s fine.

Lyrics for myself or those who needed
Blowing on candles
Like it was your first birthday
We slow danced in front of the mirror
Depicting, what are we going do next?
Been looking for ways
To do what the world says
A mutter from beneath the earth
Said that it loved me
They say the time,
Will mend
All the times that I've broken
And they grew a Lily
As a mockery for me
'Cause I keep on searching
I keep on searching
I'll relight my candles
On my 18th birthday
The twinkles on the sky,
Are a lie
But they say that time
Can fix what is broken
So they grew a lily
As a gratitude for me
Cause i keep on living
I keep on living
We'll keep on living (searching for paths to build)
We'll keep on living (what once was lost)
We'll keep on living (when i said i didn't want to give in)
We'll keep on living (i really do meant it)
I'll still blows my candles
On my 80th birthday
The sizzling sound of my breath
Would be the last thing you'll hear

[@Dabiggestmobster]

[@acorn0]

This is how I interpret the song. So there are two lovers and it is one of theirs birthday. They blow out the candles and begin dancing when an earthquake hits. It kills one lover and leaves the other alive. Years later, when the remaining lover comes back they see a lily growing in the wreckage, almost mocking him for what he lost. The rest of the song is the remaining lover trying to heal and move on from what happened.

Red spider lilies are bright summer flowers native throughout Asia. They are associated with final goodbyes, and legend has it that these flowers grow wherever people part ways for good. In old Buddhist writings, the red spider lily is said to guide the dead through samsara, the cycle of rebirth.
